It 1» singular how people ou board •hip are given to betting I have known a tnau who when ashore would consider hluiRelf disgraced al risking money ou a national election lay a wa ger at sea ou the color o f the eye* of the pilot who would take the vesaet Into port We were In the middle o f the Atlan tic ocean, and those of us who fre quented ttie smoking cabin had Ire- come well acquainted. There was s more Inveterate set o f gamblers aboard than usual We not only bet on the dally run of the ship, the weather and all that, but would conjure up all sort* o f disputes on which to stake money. There was one man who always ftnoked with us who could not t>e In duced to gamble, a clean shaved, smooth looking young fellow In spec tacles Somebody said that tie was a Princeton divinity student, but that was not substantiated. Seeing that be was not of the betting kind we all let him aloue. e ic e p t a fellow uauied Ashurst. a coarse, til favored man whom none of us liked •'Mr. Tlllotson.'' he would say to the man who declined to t>et. "I'll bet you $10 to a cent that we don't see another vessel this side of Sandy Hook.' or 1 “I ’ll bet you twenty to live ttiat there Isn't a cloud In the sky tomorrow at eight bells noon." “ 1 never bet.'1 said Mr. Tlllotson “ 1 ouly want to make It Interesting ; for the party “ Well. then, for once, for the sake of the party. I ’ll go you. I’ll bet you $500 even that before we sight FI re Island I'll pull the captain's n o s e " Every man present took his clgnr out of his mouth and looked at the speaker. The captain was the most dlgnltlcd and forbidding man co m manding any of the great liners, a tyrant to his men and Irascible with bis passengers. “ 1 can do that myself." said Ashurst. “ If 1 am willing to abide the conse quences." “ 1 will stipulate." rejoined Tlllotson. “that If the captain makes the sllgtit- est objection I lose the bet ’’ Ashurst puffed nervously, blowing a cloud of smoke, showing by bis ex pressloo both a desire to (lo s s e s * him self of Tlllotson s money and caution lest he should be outwitted. “Oh. there's some guy In that. It's not a legitimate su b ject for a b e t " “ See him crawtisb.“ remarked one o f the smoker*. “ 1 knew he'd back out If any one faced him." “Why. Ashurst." said another, "h e ’a •are to he pitched overboard, and you’ll take In the $.V k > " Thus badgered on the one hand and eeK-ouraged on the other. Ashurst be gan to give way. “ Will you all see that there's no catch In the matter.” he asked the party, “that be really pulls the cap tain’s nose?*' “ We will!" shouted every man. “ Where and when will you do It?“ asked Ashurst “ When and where I like.” '“ Who's to witness it?" “ Any or every man here, Including yourself. I’ll ootlfy you In time to be present." “ And If the captain knocks yon down?” " I f ne o b je cts In any way whatever the money Is y o u rs .' Ashurst was an avaricious man. and the chance o f winning the money was drawing him far more than the e baf fing of the party wns driving him. He sat putting vigorously, trying to think o f some way by which Tlllotson could win. but as no way apr>eared to him he determined to take the risk Th e money was put up III the hands of a passenger, a man mimed Gerkln. who had never been In the smoking cabin and was sup[>osed to tie entirely unprejudiced Th e terras of the bet were explained to him. aud he was pledged to secrecy Every mau gave his word to refrain from any colluslou with the captain I d short, every cure was taken that the wager should be fair for both parties. T h e slakes were not to be turned over to either without the unanimous vote of every smoker present when the bet was made, an even number. Gerkln to ca st tbs de ciding vote Th e day passed without any molesta tlon o f the captain T he weather was stormy, aud lie rarely left the bridge “Go up there. Tillotaon. aud do tba Job where all can see It.” said a smoker "No need of th a t." replied TlllotsoD “ He'll come down when the weather clears. If 1 should try It now. he'd murder me.” The next morning was serene, and after b reak fast we were notified by Gerkln to assemble In rhe smoking room and wait for the ceremony. Ws did so. and about 10 o’clock Gerkln came to us and desired us to follow him. l i e led the way to the barber shop. There, reclining ou a chair, his face covered with lather, sleeping for the first time In forty eight hours, was the captain. Over him. In a barber's white Jacket, stood Tillotaon. shaving him. When the smokers ap|)eared Til- lotaon took the commander's nose be tween bis fingers and gave It a strong pull. Its owner was too sleepy afte r bis long watch even to waken, nor did tbe shout o f laughter from those with out produce tbe slightest effect. It was unanimously decided that T l l lotson bad fairly won. T he money went to tbe Bailors' Bnug Harbor. AN ADVENTURE WITH A TIGER Sioux City (Iowa) Tribune. F. G.

Probably most jieople if called upon to explain it would say that it meant a woman who had stepped into the (dace of the true mother. Dr. Johnson, at any rate, believed that this was the sug gestion of the word to most minds. Really, "s te p " is the Anglo-Saxon "steop, ” the original meaning of which appears to have been "orphaned." Stepchild, stepbairn, stepson and step daughter came first; and then, by grad ual fading of the etymological meaning of "s te p ," stepfather and stepmother came into being.—London Chronicle. 250 Pieces A dandy little assort ment of dishes received this week, which we are going to put on sale at an extrem ely low price.
